Been visiting all my life and one of my favourite places. The gardens are beautiful and varied, pathways leading to little surprises in the different sections. I have always loved the Japanese garden. The house isn't always open, but worth going in when it is,...More

Hi Andrew T,
Thanks for your rating and review.
Great to hear you are a regular visitor to Newstead. The Japanese Garden is a favourite with many people, such a lovely tranquil area of the gardens.
The House Shop and Cafe are open everyday, the...More

As a relative local I had never been to Newstead Abbey before but looking for somewhere to go for a walk on a cold day we thought we would have a look.
Parking was signposted as £6 but there was no one taking pennies and...More

Hi Chrissi L,
Thanks for your rating and review.
Looks like you came on one of our Free Parking days, so you got all Newstead had to offer for free.
Hopefully you can come back and visit us in warmer weather and the House Too!...More

A lovely place to visit. The Abbey itself is so interesting with really good imput from the staff.
Arthur the peacock was on fine form.
Certainly the best Nottinghamshire attraction I have been to in a very long time.

Visited in January 2018 - only gardens and grounds open but well worth taking the time to explore. Well set out and tended. The Japanese Garden is a delight. House not open all the time so would need to check website for opening times. Lovely...More

Hi Janet H,
Thanks for your rating and review.
Please come and visit us in the warmer weather, when you can take full advantage of our lovely gardens and take a visit to the House too.
Kind Regards.......

Visited Newstead Abbey with friends and our babies. The main grounds are not pram friendly due to the amount of steps dotted about. We went for a drink and snack in the cafe. The two young staff members were miserable and they mumbled instead of...More

Hi Sheldon,
Thanks for your rating and review.
Our grounds are grade 1 listed, so in many cases we are unable to alter them for pushchairs or wheelchairs, but most of the formal gardens are accessible with one.
Our toilets are situated in the Cafe...More

We visited the Abbey whilst attending the Great Food and Drink Festival in the grounds. It is a lovely place to visit with beautiful gardens and surroundings; a great place to return to with the bikes. It was wonderful to learn more about the Abbey...More

What an experience my friend and I had. The surroundings are beautiful. The staff (Pat & Tara) answered questions about the house. You could tell they enjoy there jobs. And to top it off eating in the Victorian kitchen was magical. Definitely recommend anyone to...More

We're delighted you enjoyed your Afternoon Tea in the Victorian Kitchen and that Pat and Tara were instrumental in you having a great visit with us.
We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

I think you have got the wrong Abbey,
The Newstead Abbey Santa was out side in the Cafe Court Yard.
No shop, no lift needed.
A very nice Santa indeed and no waiting at all. He was very nice to my grandchildren and even gave...More

This was the most poorly organised Santa experience of my life, having had four children I know what I'm talking about! Children now grown and with excitement we took two of our grandchildren (2 & 6 years).
The Santa grotto was situated upstairs through the...More

Hi Liz F,
This is clearly not a review about Newstead Abbey. Our Santa was located in our Cafe Courtyard, no shop, stairs or lift (we dont have one) to get to him. We have had some excellent reviews about ours, so this clearly was...More

My friend and I had a wonderful afternoon tea. Everything was very fresh and plentiful. The staff (Tara and Pat) were super attentive. They answered all our questions and were very informative about the house and kitchen. The Victorian kitchen is a fab place for...More
